Abstract
Progress status data from each of apparatuses is read by the communication apparatus 48, and provided to the reading and registration apparatus for progress information 52. In the reading and registration apparatus for progress information 52, the progress status data is segmented into for each pages, and stored in independent memory area in the progress management master file on the disk 53. In the similar manner, the progress status data is segmented for each process steps and stored in the independent memory area in the progress management master file. Therefore, it is not necessary to seek both for each pages and for each process steps when management is carried out by displaying the progress status, so that prompt processing can be realized. Although connecting many of the apparatuses when grasp of progress status, speed of processing does not decrease.
